Hello hive learners,
Happy sunday to all of you. Sunday mornings always feel a little more special. You wake up late, there’s no rush, and a light yet tasty breakfast sets the mood for the day. Today, I made my all-time favorite—poha.

Poha, also known as flattened rice or beaten rice in English, is made by pressing rice into thin, light flakes. It’s easy to cook, light on the stomach, and full of flavor, which makes it a perfect breakfast choice.

Across India, poha is prepared in different ways. In Maharashtra, it is a regular morning dish, while in Indore, poha is almost iconic. Indori poha is served in a special style—with crunchy sev, pomegranate seeds, and a sprinkle of jeeravan masala on top. Every region adds its own twist, giving poha a unique identity everywhere.

🌿Heat oil in a pan, fry the peanuts until golden, and keep them aside.

🌿In the same pan, add cumin seeds, curry leaves, and green chilies for tempering.
